Chapter Three was founded in San Francisco in 2006 by Zack Rosen, Josh Koenig, and Matt Cheney, three friends with a shared interest in social change, mutual expertise in open-source technology, and a strong belief in the wealth of networks.

Since then we've worked with tech industry leaders like Intel and Sun Microsystems, enterprising non-profits like Kiva and The Institute For The Future, and even government agencies like PBS and NASA. We believe that the critical component of online success isn't in technology – good tech is a given; mandatory, but by now largely assumed – but rather in people, in practices, and in the right kind of operation. And we believe, wherever possible, that we should walk our talk.
